The 36-credit Master of Science Program in Biomedical Sciences offers advanced courses in a curriculum particularly well suited to those who wish to work in a research laboratory, individuals seeking acceptance into post-graduate professional schools (e.g., medical or dental school) and students seeking a career in basic science research who are planning to continue in doctoral programs. Students are taught by expert faculty specializing in the fields of microbiology, hematology, immunology and clinical biochemistry. Students may join the laboratories of faculty and acquire excellent research experience. The course will be a study of the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnostic tools and management of certain infectious diseases and neoplasms affecting humans. Lectures in Pathophysiology I not only stress the molecular and cellular basis for immunity, but also introduce students to those disease states in which a basic knowledge of immunology is critical to an understanding of the disease. The course deals with the role of the immune system in health and disease, the expected and unexpected responses in fighting infections, allergy and hypersensitivity; Immune systems role in tissue transplantation, tissue graft rejection, immunosuppression, cancer, autoimmune diseases and congenital and acquired immune deficiencies including AIDS.
